  Interviewer :

  In a dimly lit escape pod restroom, floating through space.

  'Well, I can't say that this is the most unusual place I have ever rematerialized but it does rank in the top 20 or 30...'

  You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

  "So, here we are, in an escape pod, launched from a pirate ship that just got the daylights blown out of it no less than 5 seconds ago. This leaves some unusual and unanswered questions that I would like to get to the bottom of if you don't mind too much. If you need time to get composed that's fine we can wait."

  Person :

  apparently in an evac pod, apparently freshly ejected from a blown-up ship, and apparently about to be interviewed to see what they know about this whole mess
